Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 26

Colby settled into his office chair, “So, what’s the situation?”

Sophie stepped back to gather her thoughts.

Ryan, after all, was a small to medium-sized entrepreneur. A few hundred million was within his reach, but to invest all his assets in a piece of land plagued by pollution was akin to a death wish.

It had to be for Colby’s sake.

Sophie stated, “If the polluted land is needed for commercial use, it will require a massive cleanup operation, which would cost a fortune. I guess you’re interested in that plot simply as a means to launder more money, to legitimately transfer more illicit funds from abroad, right?”.

“But now, this land is in your possession.”

This was the part that Colby couldn’t quite understand. If spending a few hundred million on the land was indeed worthwhile, spending ten billion was a huge loss.

“To be honest, the Russell family isn’t what it was under my father’s leadership anymore. Nowadays, the Russell family is merely a shell. I need the funds to keep things moving, so I must acquire that land.” Sophie was earnest.

Her words were a mix of truth and deception. The Russell family truly wasn’t what it used to be, which is why, in her past life, James had grown increasingly cold towards her.

For James, the marriage was merely a business arrangement. Once she lost her utility to James, she was nothing.

In her past life, the Russell family had completely fallen into bankruptcy, and James discarded her like, trash.
